AB  - The purpose of this research is to investigate whether the 
  relationship between socioeconomic status and political participation is direct 
  or do they connect via personal mediators such as self-esteem, locus of control 
  and political efficacy. In addition, identifying the process of mediation between 
  these mediators if there are any is the secondary objective of this study. Data 
  were collected from 150 Isfahan University students tested using questionnaires. 
  Path model analysis was done using SPSS 16 AMOS 18. Findings show that the relationship 
  between socioeconomic status and political participation is better understood 
  by personal variables than their direct relationship. These findings also show 
  that objective and mental participations are separate but when combined, they 
  result in objective political participation. In addition, all variables were 
  more related with mental political participation than with objective political 
  participation.
